As part of your registration, in order to participate in a Denver Field Ornithologists, Inc. (“DFO”) trip or other activities designated by the Board of Directors, each adult participant and the parent of a minor participant (those under 18 yrs. of age) are required to review and sign (either electronically or manually) a DFO Acknowledgment and Assumption of Risks & Release and Indemnity Agreement (sometimes “Agreement”) Completing this document involves your acceptance of binding contract terms. This online registration system allows you to review and electronically sign the Agreement if you do not have one on file. If you would prefer to manually sign a printable version of the Agreement, you may access it here, and present it to the leader before trip start. If you choose this option, please contact your leader to assure you are signed up for the trip.
Please note: Each person, including each family member choosing to sign the Agreement electronically must login and have a separate account so that the agreement is tied to the individual.

This trip is limited to the first 8 registrations.
This trip will focus on a few areas along Deer Creek at the hogbacks including a walk into South Valley Park, a short excursion into Deer Creek Canyon Park and birding nearby. We will visit oak and foothill scrub, riparian, grassland, a small marsh, and cliffs. We hope for returning White-throated Swift, and we could see Prairie and Peregrine Falcon, Mountain Bluebird, Say's Phoebe, and lots of singing Spotted Towhees. We'll also check on a nesting Red-tailed Hawk, and more. We will take time to learn some of the different sounds we can hear. The "Developing Birder" designation indicates a pace appropriate to questions and discussion, and newer birders are very welcome. Plan for about 2 miles of walking on trails and roadsides. Bring snacks and drinks. Register online or contact the leader.
